Students of Sustainability 2011

SoS is a week full of workshops and forums on a range of sustainability topics, demonstrating how theory and practice can be used to make positive social and environmental change.
SoS is completely organised by volunteers, mostly from the Australian Student Environment Network (ASEN)

2011 will be the twentieth year of the SoS Conference, and the first time since 1997 that the conference will be held in a regional area. The conference is being organised by a dedicated groups of students from Charles Sturt University, University of New South Wales, University of Technology Sydney, Macquarie University and The University of Sydney.  Around 500 hundred students and community delegates from all over Australia, representatives from a variety of universities, TAFEs, High Schools, business, government, and community groups are expected to participate in the conference.

The vision is to provide a conference that will bring together diverse groups of people to share inspiring and thought-provoking experiences, which encourage positive discussion and action aimed at creating ecological, political, economic and social sustainability in the world. SoS provides an opportunity for us to become empowered with the confidence, practical skills and motivation, required so that humanity can have a healthy relationship with the earth and all of its diverse ecosystems.
